Apparently Warner Brothers wants Ben Affleck to direct their Justice League movie. Yeah, I'd be down with that.

Enh. I don't like the way DC is rushing to this instead of laying the groundwork properly like Marvel did with the Avengers. I mean, the Batman here will be completely disconnected from the trilogy that just ended. Green Lantern bombed and who knows about Superman. On top of that, they've been so gun shy with Wonder Woman and their other characters . . . I have really low expectations for this one.

Ben Affleck has proven himself to be a pretty good director but for a movie with big action set pieces? Like busta said I'd be more confident if DC had made a decent flick in the last little while besides a Batman trilogy that was pretty light on Batman.

It's a pretty broad library so it kind of depends on what you're looking for. Knowing you....the first season of Downton Abbey should fit the bill.

I googled it.

You're funny.

I was hoping to find "The Wire"...no such luck.

I'll try it.  I'm just not sure I much like the subject matter of that show.

For what it's worth I actually kind of like Downton Abbey but, yeah.

Anyways, The Wire is an HBO show and HBO stuff isn't on Netflix. FX stuff is though which means there's some terrific drama available. Breaking Bad, as mentioned, but also Mad Men, Sons of Anarchy and so on. Or BBC stuff like Luther, Sherlock and the like.

Thanks Nik, I'll check it out.

For what it's worth while the Wire is a better show than Breaking Bad and is so in large part because of the depth and scope of later seasons their subject matters aren't all that different. Both are largely about law enforcement and drug dealers.

Interesting choice. I would have loved a Nolan version but I guess he's done with all that.

I thought Afleck was doing "The Stand"? That adaptation sounds really interesting.

I'm not a comic book guy, but the idea of the justice league just seems so stupid to me.

Or maybe it's because all I can picture is that awful super friends crap from when I was a kid.

It's the whole cancer thing, then turning into a drug dealer. 

I just find that unappealing...but I'll try it, just for you.

Filming the remake of Carrie about a 100 yards down the road from my house. Kinda neat.

Was genuinely curious if it was some moral thing you didn't like about the idea.

I felt the exact same way with respect to Breaking Bad.  Despite all the great reviews, I never watched an episode until fairly recently.  It wasn't a moral thing, I just didn't find the show's concept compelling.  But once I did bother watching it, I burned through every episode pretty quickly.

With regards to Netflix.  KENNY VS. SPENNY!!!!!!!  Although, it doesn't have the last season or the Christmas special.

Really eh?  I would have never thought that, since a lot of shows seem like they recycle the same basic storyline, but Breaking Bad always seemed like something actually different and fresh - but to each their own! Different strokes and all that.

So I just saw green latern even though I was warned against doing so. My god what a movie. It's superman 4 bad, right down to using the sun as a plot point.

I'm not a comic book reader but is the original story just as ridiculous?
